METAIRIE, La. (AP) The New Orleans Saints have released veteran safety Kurt Coleman after only one season.

The move, listed on the NFL's official transactions report on Thursday afternoon, will save the Saints at least $4 million but comes less than a year after New Orleans signed Coleman to a three-year deal worth more than $16 million.

The deal included a $4.5 million signing bonus, $3 million of which will count against the Saints' 2019 salary cap.
